SPSRA {DLMtool}

Surplus Production Stock Reduction Analysis

Description

A surplus production equivalent of DB-SRA that uses a demographically derived prior for intrinsic rate of increase (McAllister method, below)

Usage

SPSRA(x, Data, reps = 100, plot = FALSE)

SPSRA_ML(x, Data, reps = 100, plot = FALSE)

Arguments

x

A position in the data object

Data

A data object

reps

The number of stochastic samples of the MP recommendation(s)

plot

Logical. Show the plot?

Details

The TAC is calculated as:

\textrm{TAC} = K D \frac{r}{2}

where K is estimated unfished biomass, D is depletion, and r is the estimated intrinsic rate of increase.

Like all SRA methods, this MP requires a time-series of catch extending from the beginning of exploitation.

Value

An object of class Rec-class with the TAC slot populated with a numeric vector of length reps

Functions

• SPSRA: Base version. Requires an estimate of current depletion

• SPSRA_ML: Variant that uses a mean-length mortality estimator to obtain a prior for current stock depletion.

Required Data
